Thread Name: Your folk epiphanies
Subject: RE: Your folk epiphanies
As a poverty stricken teenager working in a factory, about 1970, I discovered that I could get money for singing the songs I had heard around the family homes all my life.

I used to drive my old BSA 650cc motorbike and sidecar all around Portsmouth and Southsea (Hampshire, England) singing in pubs with my Framus guitar, a long crimplene skirt, satin blouse and wide brimmed hat with a long scarf tied around it.
